SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RADIO FREQUENCY PENETRATION IMAGING OF AN OBJECT

摘要

A system and methods for RF (Radio Frequency) penetration imaging of one or more objects in a medium, the system comprising: a generation and reception unit configured to generate and receive RF signals; an antenna array configured to transmit/receive the RF signals, the antenna array comprises a plurality of antennas: and a processor in communication with said antenna array, said processor is configured to analyze said RF signals and estimate the distance between the antenna array and the object, and in addition the relative orientation between the antenna array and the medium surface.

1. A RF (Radio Frequency) imaging system, for imaging at least one object within a target medium, the system comprising
a generation and reception unit configured to generate and receive a plurality of RF signals; an RF antenna array, the RF antenna array comprises a plurality of antennas, said plurality of antennas are configured to transmit the plurality of RF signals towards the target medium and receive a plurality of RF signals reflected from the target medium; a data acquisition unit configured to receive and store said plurality of reflected RF signals; and at least one processor unit, said at least one processor unit is configured to:
estimate the distance between the surface of the target medium and the antenna array;calculate the delay between the plurality of transmitted signals and the plurality of signals reflected from the at least one object;estimate the location of the plurality of antennas at each transmitting time; andprovide an image of the at least one object location and the intensity of the plurality of reflected RF signals.
